According to Brad Trumbo, who hails from the Pacific Northwest where kokanee is an abundant game fish, “There are worse things in life than kicking back on the boat on a gorgeous spring morning while the downriggers troll a small squid bait in the vicinity of a kokanee school.”
He is also quick to point out that when you reel up a kokanee, “chrome-bright and destined for the cooler, it is a prize not to be squandered.”
